Is long distance a deal breaker for you?

[cristalriveraa]

Yes

No

[ohshee]

No I think long-distance can be fun sometimes it just depends on who the two people are and what they're looking for I would much rather have a relationship face-to-face because I like to touch slow is soft and look deep into her eyes
And at the same time you can't have that because you met online or something so I don't think there's anything wrong with having that type of relationship and bonding over the internet and letting the person feel exactly what you would be doing if you were in person

[OlderAndWiser]

Depends on the distance and how often we would be able to actually spend time together. If it is only once a year, that's a deal breaker. If it's at least once every two months, I would consider it, but. . . I have enough options that aren't long distance that I would need to see some outstanding qualities in a lady before I agreed to LDR.

Never tried it, and never say never, but I think if we already had an established relationship going for a bit, I'd be more open to it, but I don't see the point in essentially waiting for someone long distance if we've only been on like 3 dates. In that case, I wouldn't want to lie and be like, yes, I'll wait because I know I wouldn't.

[DarkCarousel]

For the most part yes. I wouldn’t start a relationship long distance and I know it can be considerably difficult to be away from your significant other. It’s not a good idea for me.

[CaptainOverthink]

The social connection would have to be so strong that it would be enough just to talk and imagine, it would be so super-intellectual that I might as well be asexual and just have some really good friends instead. Otherwise I think for me the relationship would be more of a construct in my mind than the actual thing.

[BCA6010]

A younger me would say, "no not at all! Love acknowledges no obstacles!"

Now, I'd say it's far from ideal, and only manageable if you can still regularly see each other IN PERSON, even if only for short periods. Otherwise, it WILL fall apart without being able to see that light at the end of the tunnel. Personally, I wouldn't commit to a long distance relationship without some kind of confidence that the situation is temporary.

Listen girl there are 50 50 chances, its all depends on your partner's understandable mentality. And attention is all we have to focus on. if he/she realize you are not giving attention to them. Then they'll get upset and ovethink evry single thing. And focus on that problem even if you came give attention back. And it can lead to trust issues.

[Lorewolf447]

If the personality of the girl is compatible with mine and she's willing to put in as much effort as me to maintain the relationship then I'm more than willing to try. We can work out logistics of living together when we get to that point but the journey there is what matters the most. And it will be as fun, loving and enjoyable as we make it.

With a long distant beganing relationship , you must quickly materialize it soon and only then is it really worth it completely. The start of mine in 2016 began initially a month and a half later... We married and 5yrs later to today she's right here sitting besides me happily.

[Lost_in_the_Woods]

Two reasons.

1. People lie.
2. If you really loved me you'd let me come see you.

So I don't do that crap anymore.

I tried it, they were all cheaters. Huge waste of time and money.

[Bee-Hatch]

Depends on the distance and duration. Potentially I could fir a story time. Long term? No there's no point, i'd want a partner not a penpal

[Oldtimer2]

Long distance relationships are very hard to nurture. You can't interact with the person and you need to see the other person as nd be with them to some degree for the relationship to flourish. I mean how do you get to know the other person and what they are like. Are they staying committed to you. Are they faithful to you. All these guesting need answers. Also are you gonna be faithful to that person or are you tempted to cheat,?

[Alexismariear22]

No because me and my boyfriend have been apart for a month already and we barley talk because he's grounded and he can't have his phone for the whole summer but we still make each other stuff like bracelets or buy something to give each other when he gets back

[AlexanderAnttila]

Not at all, provided I truly love someone and I see the relationship working out in the long run with details such as where we will move etc. I'm always in it for the long run so I don't do flings, let alone long distance flings.

[SheerKiss3]

Not at all but a long distance relationship requires much more effort.

[ShadowedSoul]

True

[TommyMountainFigure]

Absolutely. I don't believe in long distance relationships. They might work well for others, but I wouldn't entertain the idea.

[Leavesbound]

I've tried that and in the end we broke up because neither of us was willing to relocate and 500 miles is too far away.

[Adam1978]

Yes that distance must be very temporary or it won't work.

[paradiseonearth93]

What’s considered temporary?

[Adam1978]

That there is a plan and it's reasonable. Which usually means no sacrifices on my end.

[ritxi]

It can be a deal breaker depending of the distance and how we meet at first, but it isn't always a deal breaker for me.

[Notfabricated]

I've seen it work, but only when they Skype everyday and then occasionally took trips to see each other with hopes and plans to be with each other some day. Thats the only thing I can get with.

[Inexpensivefurniture]

Not if it's temporary. But if it's a regular or permanent thing, yes it's a deal breaker.

[Medhat-M]

I haven't tried it.. But it seems not practical... You're just in love with someone's voice and images?

[HawkPerception]

I could do it temporarily, but not even a whole year before I get impatient.

[Dchrls78104]

If the two individuals in a "relationship" cannot actually meet and converse in person, there is no relationship.
